[@JamieDWestII]

Words have their meanings updated to reflect the society they are being used in all the time. I see no reason to think that they would keep such an archaic and singular view of the word murder in a civilization that has grown to include so many different high thinking individuals. That being said I still don't think Murder Bear is a good name because it implies that you killed for no reason at all or for a reason that didn't warrant that level of a reaction. Most of the examples were just them defending themselves. They didn't appear to be the antagonist and only responded with violence after suffering harm and in order to protect themselves. Since murder means the killing was illegal then I don't feel it applies because this would be considered self defense, not murder. They literally had other species showing up to their planet just to turn them into jerky.. I didn't see a single thing that made me think their "Dark" past is an "Evil" one. Maybe "Retaliatory Justice Bears" but that really doesn't sound as good as "Murder Bears"

[@matthewterlaga3022]

Never forget, the Ewoks had a full size human dress randomly in their village, a dress that fit Leia perfectly, meaning she clearly wasn’t the first one to wear it. And yes, the Ewok movies do show a human girl living and being raised by them in the movie, but it’s established that she didn’t stay on the moon long enough for that dress to have been able to fit her. So clearly there had been another human woman on Endor at some point, and they most likely killed and ate her, which is probably what they were going to do to Leia.

I remember reading a comic about the battle of Endor from the view of an Imperial veteran in the famous Mos Eisley cantina. It's been a while so this might not be accurate but the quote generally went as follows: "We had a trooper. He finally let the whispers get to him. He went charging out of the camp, blaster firing everywhere. What he forgot to account for was eventually you run out of ammo. We found him in the morning. Those things... They did things to him." Cut to a panel showing a stormtrooper helmet on a spike, facing the Imperial camp, with the head still inside.

I thought for a second this was going to confirm the "The Ewoks eat sentients" joke as true. Think about it for a second. In RotJ, the Ewoks were ready to kill the main group for no real reason... unless they were hungry. They took them alive, and then were preparing to kill them... because that keeps the meat fresher. The Ewoks had a funeral pyre for someone, in spite of not knowing that person as anything other than an enemy... or was it a funeral? Maybe it was a barbecue.

[@XX-sp3tt]

Remember, Luke and his friends look JUST LIKE the alien invaders the Ewoks were dealing with, and Chewbaka was guilty by association as often happens in these kinda conflicts. So they were executing evil alien invaders in honor of the second coming of the Golden One.

[@noahschaffner7607]

The end battle kind of bugs me because Palpatine said some of his best troops are on Endor but they act like clowns.

He didn't say it was only his best troops. He probably had like one crack unit that were there specifically for the Rebel Strike team (which was made up of a couple dozen troops at most as they had to fit on a single Imperial Shuttle) not an Ewok Army. The regular garrison probably wasn't his best troops they might even have been the guys that barely passed training. That being said they should probably have the ones acting like clowns being Imperial Army instead of the (supposedly) elite Stormtrooper Corps.

Can you do a dark truths playlist on your channel, since I don't know if you've done these suggestions… Wookies and Lasat. Particularly the Wookies. Why were they so infective as a species in the Galaxy when they were so effective as individuals? They could've been a major power, considering their advantages, they could out compete most species, including Humans. Immense physical strength: which on a personal level means that Wookies get their way in social situations …"let the Wookie win". Try intimidating or bullying a Wookie, it would be like telling the Mountain to piss off out of your way. Unless you've got a actual army with you, they would just dominate casual social situations. And it means that any Wookie can get a job that requires strength (which is why they were used as slaves) as an entry level job, as a safety net (imagine a Wookie bouncer or crowd control bodyguard). Very adaptable: They can live in a wider range of environments than Humans, without _any_ protection. Chewie was naked on Hoth, Endor and Tatooine, that's a very wide temperature range. And he was also in a mud pit for ages when he first met Han, a Human in that situation would have Trench Foot and various diseases. Wookies should be able to colonize a lot of marginal Worlds that Humans and the other standard Galactic species ignore. Their very long lifespans: This is a biggy, they can become very experienced and proficient in a lot of skills, and in a professional organisation like a Corporation or Government they can move up the ladder just by seniority. A Wookie businessman could work his way up to the board in a Human lifespan easily. They knew secret hyperspace routes: They had a caste of Pathfinders that could discover unknown hyperspace routes, that was game changing information that they apparently didn't exploit. They could have set up secret colonies safe from all (like the Lasat did) and a Wookie owned and operated transport company could dominate their area by using secret routes. Their only real disadvantages were: Language, they couldn't speak standard - although a lot of Humans knew their language for some reason? But a simple technological fix for that was available with voders or similar items - a urbane sophisticated Wookie could have an implant that gave them instant translation into various common tongues. Their shear size could be a occasional disadvantage, particularly in cramped quarters - forget flying a Snubfighter _[Han Solo at Stars End_ discussing a Z-95 "fine…we can just build a cupola on top of the canopy and … can fly it with his knees"]. But imagine if Ewoks and Wookies united, and Ewoks could pilot (arboreal tree dwellers may make good pilots) Snubfighters, but any small species could fill that niche [side note, a very small technological species would be terrifying vehicle combatants if they had custom ships]. Furballs: And what about hygiene, do you want to sit in a chair after a Wookie has put it's naked ass on it? Wookies with multi pocket vest, a Translator implant or necklace, a pair of cargo shorts and a good automated grooming mini droid in a vest pocket should be able to make their way through the Galaxy and be a success, just on their natural advantages. And they can hide hold out weapons on themselves with ease. Small blasters hidden in fur for day to day living. And a standard E-11 carbine would be a pistol to them in more lawless regions. Baze's Minigun [Rogue One] would be a rifle with a bumbag if they ever expected trouble. A mercantile Wookie should be able to write their own ticket. So why did they (and the Lasat) have such little influence? Imagine if either species was on Earth, they'd run the joint.

What really happened to the Ewoks after Endor, in their battles with other sapient species on Endor? They suddenly had a lot of Imperial equipment they could apparently use (were they capable of being fully technological beings if raised in a high tech culture?). So did they wipe out their competitors/predators/rivals with blasters? Did they get any help from the Rebel Alliance? They had just saved the Rebellion, so having a few Y-Wings bomb those lizards (or just get them off world) would seem reasonable. And imagine if they got regular arms shipments (and the basic training on how to take care of and use them) from sympathisers, out of gratitude for their help? Could the Ewoks transition into a interstellar species straight away? Are there some Ewoks living offworld, as a regular 'civilized' alien race? Still primitive tribal humans in the same ecological situation would have hunted their rivals to extinction, if Earth history is anything to go by… But then we'd have probably burnt down the forest to flush out the mega fauna. Or sold cheap alcohol to the other sapients…

Underestimating your enemy is a deadly weakness but trusting your ally is a great strength. The empire learned this the hard way.

Ewoks: *uses poison, spike pits, and other weapons that would normally be banned in times of war according to Republic law, in addition to slaughtering people who had clearly surrendered.* Stormtrooper: "Hey, New Republic! Those Ewoks were committing war crimes!" New Republic: "What are you talking about? They were helping us win a war, therefore it can't be a crime!"

In a star wars table top RPG I once played an ewok sith named Darth Furry. Other players laughed at the name until they realized that the name was intentionally cute to obfuscate the savagery of the characters nature.

[@midnightmosesuk]

Well, that was enlightening. When I went to see Return of the Jedi on it's release I was worried Ewoks were going to spoil the series. They didn't, but I walked out of that cinema cursing the inclusion of the little buggers. Now I've seen your history of Ewoks I understand them a lot better. I still hate the little bastards though.

I've always said that the empire underestimated Ewoks at their peril. They were not technologically advanced. But on the forest moon of Endor they definately knew the territory and had the numerical advantage. This battle faintly reminds me of the trade Federation vs the Gungans. Or in the real world Custer's army vs the Native Americans.

When stormtroopers get slaughtered to the point THEY start talking about warcrimes, it explains the deadliness of the Ewoks

NOT PAGAN. Dark rituals do not mean paganism, and spirituality/belief systems do not equal paganism. Geetsly's, your videos are great, but what would be even better is not getting damaging facts like this wrong. Cheers. ** I really appreciate Geetsly's contributions in putting out interesting Star Wars content, though I feel accuracy in information & facts should come before entertainment.

I'm not sure "sentient" means what you think it means 🤔 Per Merriam-Webster: You may have guessed that sentient has something to do with the senses. The initial spelling sent- or sens- is often a giveaway for such a meaning. A sentient being is one who perceives and responds to sensations of whatever kind - sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. Sentient ultimately comes from the Latin verb sentire, which means "to feel" and is related to the noun sensus, meaning "feeling" or "sense." A few related English words are sentiment and sentimental, which have to do with emotions, and sensual, which relates to more physical sensations.

[@KlaxontheImpailr]

I love how it’s the stormtrooper who suddenly cares about war crimes.

[@jimtaramas6081]

You forgot to mention the psychological warfare the Ewoks used on the stormtroopers.
